Lovely old pub in beautiful location, excellent breakfast, with home made preserves. The dinner menu looked very exciting but sadly we were dining elsewhere. Staff most helpful, carrying luggage and providing information. There is an onsite brewery!
The night was extremely hot, so difficult to sleep, but very comfortable bed and well equipped room. The bathroom could have done with refurbishment to the tiling and taps, but was acceptable. There is a large parking area, by the river garden.

We stayed here as a couple for one night on our way to a wedding. Unfortunately we didn’t find that the place lived up to expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the beer garden and outdoor areas were pleasant. Our room was located on the first floor at the front of the pub, with en suite bathroom. The bed was clean and comfortable enough. However, the paintwork, carpets and fittings throughout the room and common areas were dated, tired and in some places quite grubby. The bathroom was carpeted and had cobwebs and dust in many places. The stairs case and common areas were dingy, with electrics and fittings that looked an age almost comparable with the age of property itself! Breakfast was ok and served by friendly staff. My main comment is that the photos provided in the hotel description massively oversell the quality of the facilities and experience. So be careful what to expect!

The staff were attentive and obliging . Beer good nice atmosphere.
However after my evening meal of pork I was up all night with food poisoning. My wife ate the chicken pie , the pastry was soggy, the gravey had a skin on it . However the accompanying vegetables were excellent .
With not having any sleep we checked out early 7.30 approx . Could not look at a breakfast . Just needed to get home .
Went to pay my food bill ,no apologies about my upset stomach, no way would breakfast be taken off my bill . So sad that no consideration was made when paying my bill.

This is a traditional inn with traditional food in the best possible sense. The chef was excellent about food allergies and asked if we needed anything as they were going shopping. The village itself is very quiet and may not suit everyone but in a good position for the Malverns.

great find - decent beer and pub grub-stay here

great find and fantastic staff
This place dates back to the 1500s - so its never going to be straight lines and square walls !!
Great breakfast - brewery on site and next to the river.
What else would yo need !!

Great for walking etc
Will definitely be back - but i expect this place gets
rammed in the summer

Look out for the beer festivals - you can stay there too so its a great place to visit

Loved this place

What a fantastic find this place was,
Such friendly Staff, lots of character to this old building, I had already read the reviews for the breakfast and we were not disappointed.
The best homemade black pudding ever tasted,
It’s such a great treat to find places like this still exist.

Very poor stay, Staff that I did see lovely

I arrived late to the property, check in and evening staff were brilliant, even checking that I was still arriving as I was pushing it for time, Very very creaky room, So much so I felt bad for moving about in the night as to not disturb neighbouring rooms, shower hideous and very poorly installed. Got asked if I would like a early breakfast, which I did not - However was informed that there would be someone catering for this from 08:00 - Perfect.... Or so I thought.... I waited 25 minutes for someone to appear and even approached the kitchen on two occasions, with no response.... I left with no breakfast or even a coffee.... Not ideal at £120 a night.

No wonder that the bar was filled with local people on a weekday enjoying themselves. Also a very interesting building.

Rural location

The young staff were friendly and accommodating. The conservatory was a lovely place to eat. Unfortunately our room at the back overlooked a yard, a skip and some bins, so we shut the curtains. As it was warm we had the windows open and were woken at 3.20 am by a cockerel but, it IS a rural location. The bathroom needed updating, it was carpeted and smelt musty, but it did the job. Perfectly adequate and reasonably priced. Suited to walkers staying for a night or two.

We had a great stay - just one night - at The Talbot. The people were lovely, really helpful and friendly yet professional. The Talbot is a warren of rooms, as are the grounds, it is lovely! Being a bit older, it was very clean but a little worn in some areas. Our room was fine, the bed fairly comfy - a bit soft and creaky. Otherwise the room was well fitted with lots of hot water! We would come back if in the area again.

A relaxing and pleasant weekend stay at the Talbot in such a lovely part of the English countryside. The staff were extremely helpful and cheerful at all times, they made us really welcome. Our bedroom was right over the bar and on the Friday night the noise did carry until very late; that said, it was good to find a country pub so popular with local clientele. We enjoyed the meals and the overall stay. If you want a hotel with loads of character and age in a beautiful rural setting, I recommend the Talbot; we will be happy to return there.

Disappointing stay, on two out of four days.

For an establishment that prides itself on food, the standard of cooking was fair to bad, on three occasions. As a result we chose to eat elsewhere. I fear the 'chef'
Obviously doesn't taste the food.
